    You would never find a new tank for an 80s Montero. Keep up the good work!

      If I did find one, it wouldn’t be $80 that’s for sure! 😬 thanks !

    Well worth the upgrade, It looked like buy the design of the fuel tank was much better than the old style by a lot.

      It looks ok, but it’s a pile. 😀

    Hi. Great video very informative. I have a 1978 cj5. Yours looks pretty much the same as mine. Mine has a leak coming fr the top. Not sure if it's just hose, Regardless, I need to at least lower the tank to see whats going on. Thank you

    A wise man once said. You're supposed to remove all the metal before you paint the rust. I'm glad I only listened to him once. LOL The old jeep is coming together. See you on the next one, 😁

      LOL. I have found some frame rot I will need to repair, but I’m not worried about that skid plate. If it ever gets to the point of just being a tank strap I’ll replace it!

      Gas tanks are the weakest point of of old cars. Always a gamble with them!

    That old tank just needed some more JB weld 😂 or maybe a rusty screw and gasket.

      I think a self tapper and an o-ring could have fixed it 😂🤣

    Where did you put the ground wire to, the frame of jeep and what kind of screw did you use? Did you hook up the sending unit wire right before you raised up tank? 😊

      @@markfeuerherdt2338 yes ground wire to a clean spot on the frame or crossmember power wire you can reach once the tank is up
